Reviving the musical dream with restorative fire

How many stories are there in this town where a star rises before everything falls apart? Where the musical dream leads down an exciting path...and then that original path disappears.

Houston Kendrick says it takes “restorative fire” to get your art into the world when the big money in the music industry steps out. It also takes some good friends and like-minded collaborators. From Kendrick battling against the flame out to the Alabama Shakes rekindling the embers after a decade of dormancy, today we’re talking about artists regaining momentum – and the friends who help them along the way.
